Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

Subject: National Council of Libya members
Dear all,
Here are some more notes on the members of the opposition National Council in Libya, based on our own impressions
and speaking to Libyan contacts. Obviously these are the public faces and there is a huge network of well-connected
Libyans working behind the scenes including many expats who've returned home.
Mostafa Abdeljalll — former minister of justice, HRW met with him in April and December 2009. Only Libyan official to
publicly criticize the Internal Security agency for failing to respect the rule of law and release prisoners acquitted by
courts. Former judge in Gabal Akhdar/Baida. Respected and seen as uncorrupt, a good transitional figure, though
perceived as naïve politically. Our contacts say he understands that his position in this is temporary.
Fathi Terbil: HRW has known him for the past 3 years. He was the spokesperson of the Abu Salim families committee in
Benghazi (his brother was killed in the Abu Salim massacre), a lawyer, very brave — would give interviews to the media
and speak to us when all other Libyans were afraid. Was arrested in March 2009 for organizing protests of the families
in Benghazi, has become very important symbolically — it was his arrest on February 15 that sparked off the
demonstrations in Benghazi.
Abdelhafiz Ghoga — well known human rights lawyer in Benghazi, was the lawyer for the Abu Salim families who took
their case to the North Benghazi court in 2007 and active in the Benghazi lawyer's syndicate push for recognition as
independent syndicate. His choice as spokesperson highlights role of lawyers and judges in Benghazi and inspires
confidence in the Council's desire to push for respect for the rule of law.
Fathi Baja: PhD and MA from the US. Professor of political science in Gar Yunis. Described as a liberal person — some
say extremely liberal. Very well liked especially in Benghazi. Openly criticized the regime in article published in early
2009 for which he was summoned to a surreal meeting with Gaddafi which he then told us about.
Mahmud Jebril: We met him in April 2009 when he was running the National Economic Board at the time. Academic
who returned to Libya during the period of hope for reform, became frustrated when working with the regime and
argued that Seif needed to push his "reform" project forward faster.
Omar Hariri - Was one of the free officers who supported Qaddafi at the outset. Imprisoned for 18 years. Described as
Tobruk man, trusted by our dissident contacts, "strong personality."
Ali Essawi - Economist. Former Minister for Economy. Got frustrated working with the regime, and was cast aside and
sent as ambassador to India.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05780121 Date: 02/29/2016
Ahmed zoubeir - Imprisoned for at least 35 years, accused of being part of the Fezzan plot against Qaddafi early in his
rule. Member of the Senussi family — relatives of deposed king. A poet, and since release seen as part of intellectual
crowd, and mainstream opposition.
